Holding in anger

When school was dismissed at noon, Jiang Xizhi’s mood was obviously better, and the two held hands as they walked towards the apartment.

Liang Jing knew that the two had been eating out recently, and she was very worried.

She simply had the family prepare lunch and send it over, so that Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi could pick it up when they returned to the apartment.

The two returned to the apartment and started washing their hands to eat.

During the afternoon nap, Jiang Xizhi still clung to Zhou Yining’s arms, but she didn’t move around anymore, and fell asleep in a comfortable position.

In the following days, Zhou Yining made Jiang Xizhi study every night, and the child was so tired that she would fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

This made Zhou Yining very satisfied, otherwise, she really couldn’t stand the little fox rubbing against her in her arms.

Soon, it was the National Day holiday, which was the only slightly longer holiday that Zhou Yining and the others could have during their senior year.

However, the teachers of each subject didn’t let them go, and they left more and more papers.

Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi returned to the villa to live during the holidays.

Liang Jing hadn’t seen her daughter for a few weeks, and she saw that her daughter was a lot more haggard.

“Zhizhi, what’s wrong with you? Why do you feel so listless?” Liang Jing asked.

Jiang Xizhi rubbed her eyes and looked at Zhou Yining,

“Zhou Zhou has been making me study these past few weeks, and I have to study until very late every day before I can sleep.”

“It’s good to work hard, but don’t be too tired. It’s only the first day of the holiday, so you two shouldn’t study today.

Relax and unwind, and your dad is coming back from abroad today.” Liang Jing said.

Jiang Xizhi looked at Zhou Yining, and Zhou Yining smiled and nodded at her.

Zhou Yining felt that she had been too much these past few weeks, and she had made the young miss too tired.

“Okay, we won’t study today, we’ll do the papers tomorrow.”

“That’s great!” Jiang Xizhi’s eyes lit up.

The two went upstairs to put their things away, and then went downstairs to the dining room.

Because the company was on vacation, Liang Jing and Jiang Yueyi were also at the villa.

At around 10 a.m., Jiang Shengde also returned from abroad.

He brought back a lot of things, and he was very happy to see Jiang Xizhi.

“Zhizhi, I brought you a lot of gifts this time, see if you like them.”‘

Jiang Shengde put the gifts he bought for Jiang Xizhi all over the coffee table in the living room.

Jiang Xizhi was very happy. There were skin care products, luxury goods, and several watches.

Among them, there were two watches from the same series. Jiang Xizhi was very happy and took the two watches out.

“Zhou Zhou, which one do you like? Let’s each have one, let’s wear them together, okay?”

Zhou Yining glanced at the brand of the watch, it was a foreign brand, and one watch would cost hundreds of thousands.

She smiled at Jiang Xizhi and declined,

“No need, I’m not used to wearing watches, you can just wear them yourself.”

The smile on Jiang Xizhi’s face faded.

She pursed her lips and looked at Zhou Yining, and then started to pack up the things on the coffee table by herself.

But the more she packed, the more aggrieved she felt, and before long, her eyes turned red.

She still felt that Zhou Yining had changed towards her these past few weeks, but she couldn’t say exactly what had changed.

Anyway, it was just that Zhou Yining would always find a way to avoid those very intimate touches, and now she didn’t want to accept the matching watch.

Thinking this, Jiang Xizhi felt even more aggrieved. She glanced at Zhou Yining and continued to pack things in silence.

Zhou Yining naturally saw that her eyes were red, and she quickly went over and said softly, “What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?”

Jiang Xizhi sniffed and didn’t speak, continuing with the movement in her hands.

Zhou Yining leaned closer, “Are you mad at me? Zhizhi?”

She reached out and gently pulled Jiang Xizhi’s wrist, Jiang Xizhi dodged and pulled her wrist out of her hand, and also wiped away a tear.

Seeing the little fox crying, Zhou Yining became anxious and said,

“I was wrong, okay? Don’t be angry, you can say anything, don’t make yourself sick.”

“Is it useful to tell you? Anyway, you’ve been so cold to me lately, and you don’t like to hug me or be close to me like you used to, and you don’t want the things I just gave you, you just don’t want me anymore.”

Jiang Xizhi said loudly.

“I haven’t been cold to you, the watch was too expensive, I can’t accept it.”

Zhou Yining couldn’t explain, she couldn’t say that she was reducing physical contact to avoid not being able to control herself, right?

“You still say you haven’t, you’ve made me study so hard these past few weeks, isn’t it just so that I don’t pester you when you sleep?”

Jiang Xizhi cried while staring at Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining quickly bent down and took a tissue to wipe away Jiang Xizhi’s tears, but Jiang Xizhi dodged.

“I don’t need you to care, anyway, you don’t like me anymore, so I don’t want to like you anymore either.”

Her intimate touches had been avoided by Zhou Yining time and time again, and Zhou Yining didn’t want to accept the watch she gave her, she didn’t want to talk to Zhou Yining anymore.

Saying this, Jiang Xizhi wiped away her tears and walked quickly upstairs.

Seeing the young miss running upstairs in anger, Zhou Yining was a little confused. She didn’t know how to coax her.

Liang Jing and Jiang Yueyi were also confused by the situation.

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Shengde was about to go over and see what was going on.

“They seem to have had a fight, why is she crying? I’ll go take a look.” Saying this, Jiang Shengde was about to get up.

Liang Jing pinched her brow and reminded, “I advise you not to go, it’s their own business, let them solve it themselves.”

“How can that be? Zhizhi seems to be crying.” Jiang Shengde said worriedly.

Liang Jing also glanced at the living room. She sighed, “Then how about we go over together?”

“Let’s go, let’s go over together,” Jiang Shengde said.

Jiang Yueyi followed behind her parents, also preparing to watch the drama.

She also wanted to know how Zhou Yining had made her sister cry.

Seeing Jiang Xizhi’s family coming over, Zhou Yining was also very helpless, “I’m sorry, I made Zhizhi cry.”

“What exactly happened?” Liang Jing asked.

“Well, I’ve been intentionally avoiding too much physical contact with Zhizhi lately, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself, but Zhizhi may have misunderstood, and then she wanted to give me a watch just now, but I refused, so she may be feeling a little uncomfortable.”

Zhou Yining explained euphemistically.

Liang Jing and Jiang Yueyi understood what she meant, but Jiang Shengde was confused.

He didn’t know about Zhou Yining and his daughter’s affairs.

“Can’t control what?” Jiang Shengde asked.

Zhou Yining rubbed her hands, her eyes darting to the side, too embarrassed to say,

“It’s nothing, Auntie, you guys go ahead, I’ll go upstairs and check on Zhizhi.”

Saying this, Zhou Yining quickly slipped away, running upstairs.

“Hey, this child, why did she run away after saying half a sentence?”

Jiang Shengde said dissatisfiedly, then he looked at Liang Jing and Jiang Yueyi, he always felt that these two were hiding something from him.

“What exactly is going on?” Jiang Shengde asked.

“It’s like what you see, Zhizhi and Xiao Zhou like each other, but Zhizhi hasn’t realized what kind of liking it is yet, and Xiao Zhou doesn’t plan to say it now, for fear of affecting her studies.

Maybe she’s been a little cold to Zhizhi these days, so she got angry.” Liang Jing said.

Jiang Shengde was completely dumbfounded. He opened his mouth but couldn’t speak for a long time,

“Are you saying, they like each other? Is it the kind of liking where they want to be in love?”

Liang Jing nodded, “Yes, but your daughter hasn’t realized it yet, and Xiao Zhou doesn’t plan to say it now, for fear of affecting her studies.”

“Wait for me to sort this out.” Jiang Shengde found a chair and sat down, and it took him a while to recover.

“Then what do we do?” Jiang Shengde had no idea what to do when it came to his daughter.

“Let them solve it themselves, if Xiao Zhou can’t coax her well, it’s good for her to talk to Zhizhi clearly, just don’t delay her studies.” Liang Jing said, pinching her brow.

On the other side, Zhou Yining followed Jiang Xizhi upstairs, and she reached out to knock on Jiang Xizhi’s door,

“Zhizhi? Don’t be angry, I’m coming in, okay?”

Saying this, Zhou Yining leaned against the door and listened for movement.

Hearing no sound inside, she tentatively turned the doorknob, and the door opened.

Zhou Yining breathed a sigh of relief, it was a good thing that the young miss hadn’t locked the door.

She stepped into the room and gently closed the door.

Zhou Yining scanned the room and saw that the bed was a mess.

Jiang Xizhi must have buried herself in the blanket by now, and even her head wasn’t visible.

Zhou Yining felt that the young miss was cute and also a little distressed, so she quickly walked over.

“Zhizhi? Zhizhi?” She called a few times, but there was no response.

Without a choice, Zhou Yining had to reach out and pull the blanket away, and then she saw Jiang Xizhi still lying on the bed, her shoulders twitching, obviously still crying.

Zhou Yining quickly leaned over, she reached out and gently put her arm around Jiang Xizhi’s lower back, but she was pushed away by the angry little fox.

“Don’t touch me, don’t you like to hug me anymore?” Jiang Xizhi said, also sniffing aggrievedly, not wanting to look at Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining quickly leaned over to coax her, “I don’t dislike hugging you, don’t be angry, okay?”

Seeing that the young miss didn’t respond, Zhou Yining tentatively put her hand on Jiang Xizhi’s lower back again.

Jiang Xizhi twisted a few times symbolically, but didn’t push Zhou Yining’s hand away this time.

Zhou Yining breathed a sigh of relief, she reached out and put her arm around Jiang Xizhi and brought her into her arms,

“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have made my little fox cry, don’t be angry, okay?”

Jiang Xizhi glared at her and leaned into her arms with a hum,

“You’ve been avoiding me these past few days, I can feel it, and you don’t like to hug me when I sleep either, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Xizhi sniffed, looking at Zhou Yining with a aggrieved expression.

Zhou Yining pursed her lips and was still hesitating whether to say it or not.

If she didn’t say it, there would probably be more and more misunderstandings in the future.

“Say something,” Jiang Xizhi rubbed her tears on her, waiting for Zhou Yining to reply with hopeful eyes.

Zhou Yining sighed and flipped over, pressing the young miss under her body.

Zhou Yining’s gaze swept over Jiang Xizhi’s eyebrows, and finally landed on Jiang Xizhi’s lips.

She swallowed a few times, and then looked into Jiang Xizhi’s eyes.

Jiang Xizhi only felt that Zhou Yining seemed a little different, her dark eyes were staring at her, making her a little nervous.

“What are you doing?” Jiang Xizhi asked softly.

Zhou Yining continued to stare at her, reaching out and gently touching Jiang Xizhi’s cheek, “Didn’t you ask me why I’m avoiding you? This is the reason.”

“What is?” The young miss was confused and still didn’t understand what Zhou Yining meant.
